On Loan

This painting deals with issues of animal rights. It is interesting to imagine if animals (in this case, goats) were to be interviewed and asked what their rights were, what each and every animal would say. As Charles Darwin believed, there is no fundamental difference between man and animal in their mental faculties. Animals, like man, feel pleasure and pain, happiness and misery.
